    A USA TODAY review of arrests concluded Krvaric would be the first
    full-time employee of the Trump administration identified entering the
    Capitol in the insurrection. On Jan. 6, 2021, Krvaric was working for
    the Office of Personnel Management on a short-lived Trump executive
    order that sought to rid federal agencies of certain diversity and
    inclusion training.

    By then, the 22-year-old had built a public persona as an
    up-and-coming student GOP leader. Even earlier than that, his name had
    been used to create an identity on a site for white supremacists.

    Asked whether he was at the Jan. 6 riot, Krvaric initially told USA
    TODAY he was not. Pressed about the photos that online researchers say
    show him that day, Krvaric acknowledged he attended former President
    Donald Trump's speech, but said he didn't go inside the Capitol. Asked
    about images that appear to show him inside the Capitol, he then said
    he didn't remember whether he went inside. Sent copies and links to
    the footage, he stopped responding.

    Krvaric led the College Republicans while at San Diego State
    University. In a 2020 opinion column in the San Diego Union Tribune,
    he penned a portentous message:"The temporary upheaval that consumed
    the Republican Party up through the early months of the new
    administration is nothing like what's coming should President Trump
    lose re-election in November."
